I think almost all parents are familiar with the If You Give a Mouse a Cookie book or series. There are days I feel as though my not so little munchkin is that mouse. Take today for example we had this conversation while I was doing dishes and she was working on school...
Kira: There's this sentence in my language lesson on rhubarb. What is rhubarb?
Me: Rhubarb is a vegetable. Papa grew rhubarb in his garden.
Kira: What's it look like?
Me: It's kind of bushy and if I remember correctly it had red stalks like celery. Google it.
Kira: Oh, so that's what it looks like! You know, Laurie Berkner sang a song about rhubarb pie.
*She starts singing "Rhubarb Pie" by Laurie Berkner*
Kira: Did Papa like rhubarb pie?
Me: I don't know if he did or not.
Kira: I'd like to taste rhubarb. Did you know you can make a strawberry-rhubarb pie? Can we grow some rhubarb?
Me: Can you get back to language and we'll discuss this later?
About Me
- Erica
- From homeschooling to handling live TV chaos, I’ve done it all—running camera crews, assisting producers, crafting a 200+ page digital magazine, and even juggling life as a reporter’s personal assistant. I’ve taught in private schools, and now I’m wrangling SEO strategies as an account manager. Volunteering has been my jam for years, and my newest project is a fiery one—breathing new life into the Fort Lauderdale Fire Museum. Life’s been a mix of creative detours and career curveballs, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Buckle up—it’s been a wild ride so far!
